In addition to the team offering an explanation of what has been happening with regards to Hiromoto Okubo to players and coaches prior to practice on Sunday, it seems Hisanobu Watanabealso offered up an apology to players for the distraction and for not catching the problem at an earlier stage.

The investigation committee also dropped by the player dorms on Sunday after practice in order to continue their interviews. When asked if they had spoken to Yusei Kikuchi, they responded by saying that they were finished speaking to him.

The interviews will continue on Monday as the team works on creating a final report that will be released to the public when it is ready.
